Welcome

Dr. Xing Yuan (袁星) is a professor in the School of Hydrology and Water Resources at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (NUIST). He received his B.S. degree in Information and Computing Science at Hunan University in 2004, and Ph.D. degree in Meteorology at IAP/CAS in 2008. Before joining NUIST, he worked as a climate modeler at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign during 2009-2011, as an associate climate specialist at Princeton University during 2011-2014, and as a professor at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at Chinese Academy of Sciences during 2014-2018. He was awarded “Thousand Talents Program for Distinguished Young Scholars” by Chinese central government in 2015. He is an editor of Hydrology and Earth System Sciences.

Prof. Yuan’s research interests are primarily in the field of hydroclimatology, including land surface modeling, climate change and water cycle, hydroclimate ensemble prediction, and attribution for extremes. He has authored 60 peer-reviewed journal papers. His research on seasonal hydrological forecasting covers a variety of areas including multi-model ensemble, dynamical and statistical downscaling, and hydrological post-processing. Recently, Prof. Yuan’s group is working on hyper-resolution land surface modeling, decadal hydrological predictability, and attribution and projection of flash drought in the anthropocene.
